The Scarlet Empress (1934)

Thomas C. Blythe: Narcissus

Quotes 

• Empress Elizabeth Petrovna : You look exhausted, Paul. What's the matter?

  Narcissus : I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm tired. My wife gave birth to a child, yesterday.

  Empress Elizabeth Petrovna : Boy or girl?

  Narcissus : A boy, beloved empress.

  Empress Elizabeth Petrovna : What the wife of a guard can do should certainly be easy for a grand duchess. Remind me to give you a purse of gold tomorrow. Those of you who have boys in your families, raise your hand. Exactly what I thought! A few more like you and Russia need never worry about her enemies.
